Combat Casey #9

Combat Casey charges headlong into battle on Joe Maneely's kinetic cover, the infantry's red-bearded brawler lunging forward with a bayoneted rifle while enemy soldiers scatter and tumble beneath him. The bold red background and Casey's snarling defiance — punctuated by his shouted challenge to anyone in Korea daring to hide from him — capture exactly the no-holds-barred energy that made this Atlas war series a standout of 1953. With interior work by Hank Chapman and Robert Q. Sale, this issue delivers the scrappy, boots-on-the-ground action that keeps Combat Casey fans coming back every month.
